Okay heres the situation! BF and I have a setting for my ring and we (I…) am trying to decide between an old european cut moissanite or a round brilliant one. We’ve decided we want an amora 6.5 mm (about 1 carat) whichever cut we finally choose. So my question to you is which would you choose and why? I’ve never seen an OEC in real life but I am really intrigued by them because they are a little more chunky and sparkly instead of glittery (does that make sense??) Opinions please! 🙂

(heres the setting that currently has a cz in it, if you want it for reference!)

You can always order a loose OEC and send it back if you don’t like it. I have RB earrings and an OEC necklace, and they’re both really pretty. If I had your setting, I’d probably put an OEC in it, but either would look good.

If you’re having trouble deciding, you could order an OEC cz. I’ve gotten some from here; light champagne would probably be closest to moissy color. When I’ve ordered from him, it’s taken about a week to receive the stones. It won’t have the same properties as moissy, but at least it will give you an idea of OEC faceting and light play.

I love OECs, especially in moissy, and hope to have a band with them someday. But for what it’s worth, as much as I love OECs, I think a round brilliant would work well in that setting because of the modern looking pave. I don’t think you could go wrong with either one, though!

I voted OEC because I found the light play with that cut is amazeballs, lol! I own RB moissy and an OEC, and now I want to get OEC earrings to match my ring. Here’s a close up of the cut for you to look at:
